Is mine a missing one. Its 70ft built 1972 called Cerberus with Kelvin P4R.

I think that would have been during Malcolm Braine's tenure. Norton Canes didn't start until 1986. Graham was Malcolm's foreman before starting the latter company. Fine looking boats, nontheless!

Unless you contact the company, I doubt many can give you a definitive answer. According to this topic they started building in 1986 when  8-6-4 was not an unusual spec where nowadays its more likely to be 10-6-4. I am sure plenty can tell you what thier boat's spec is.

It was hand painted by Richard Corbett who used to work at Norton Canes.

And what a fantastic job he did!
